Answer 5

Apologies in advance for the long winded answer. They have what used to be called Guy Fawkes Night. Now Bonfire Night or fireworks night as they seem to have stopped teaching history in school. Celebrated on the 5th of November. It marks the day of the Gunpowder Plot; when the catholic gentry tried to blow up the Houses of Parliament in 1605. Guy Fawkes who planted the explosives was captured and subsequently tried and hanged. There is a rhyme : 'Remember, remember the fifth of November, gunpowder, treason and plot. We see no reason why gunpowder treason should ever be forgot.' Children used to collect a penny for the guy (clothes stuffed to represent Guy Fawkes)and bonfires were built to burn the figures. Now they just have firework displays as it is probably considered offensive to recall past history.
